Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 01/08/2022 4:30 pm Hi, m8s? I think this coin is Ptolemy II Philadelphos tetrobol c. 260 - 246 B.C. from Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Alexandria mint. I can see the reverse inscription BAΣIΛEΩΣ. What do you think? Another question: does this coin have any value in such condition?

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 12:23 pm Interesting coin!....Looks as if it has been struck twice on the obverse, with the second strike breaking the coin and once on the reverse with something sharp? Maybe the owner needed some small change? Report this Post to the Staff
Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 1:27 pm Yes, it looks like somebody 2000 years ago tried to divide it into two pieces. I don't know how to make good photo to show the cut. But on the coin you can clearly see several cuts made with chisel or another not very sharp instrument. Report this Post to the Staff
